Great News!

As you may remember, I've had a complication with this pregnancy. We weren't sure how serious it was, but we were praying that it would not be very serious at all. Yesterday, I had another ultrasound plus my first appointment at the high risk OB clinic. We'd been praying hard (as I'm sure a lot of you had, too) that we would receive good news. More importantly, however, we want God's name to be glorified.

Well, we got our good news! The ultrasound showed the same enlargement of the ventricles in the brain, but it was no bigger. We saw a new doctor (that's what happens in a teaching hospital, isn't it? New doctors every time.) who explained to us that the enlargement is at the upper end of normal. Since the reading hasn't changed any, maybe this enlargement is just the baby's "normal." I made the whole team laugh (yes, there was a team of residents and students looking at my big, ole belly and sonogram) when I told them that my children do have big heads. Dr. D thinks that this enlargement is stable and should continue to remain just as it is. He doesn't foresee there being any problems with the baby or with my having a vaginal delivery. Praise the Lord!

I want to thank everyone who prayed for us and for this baby. And I want to thank God publicly for answering our prayers about this baby.

Now we just need her to turn over because she's breech. But she's got eight weeks to do that!
